Wow, the middle of reading week… Has it really been almost a month since I last posted? Well I am officially feeling rejuvenated after surviving the first part of Term 2. I honestly think that reading break came at just the right time. In high school I always felt drained in February, with the rain just pounding down without relenting. But high school there is no reading break, just a Spring Break which comes far too late to be of any help.

Sooo anyways, so far I love reading break. Before reading break I had two hellish weeks with 5 midterms, 2 Physics 108 assignments, 2 Physics pre-reading quizzes, a large Computer Science assignment, 2 CompSci pre-reading quizzes, 1 CPSC pre-lab, 2 Physics 170 assignments, 1 APSC 160 pre-lab, 2 Math assignments, 2 Math quizzes, 2 Chemistry quizzes, and the wonderful Vitamin C lab write-up and a Chem pre-lab…. Oh, and lectures… But I am not complaining. I survived, although on the last 2 nights of school of had 3 hours and 4 hours of sleep respectively. Stupid chemistry write-up, it stole so much time from me! I got so caught up in analyzing my data and comparing it with results from other experiments and making it all look nice when I should have been doing my pre-lab…

After all of that wonderful excitement I was incredibly happy to have some time off! The first day off I slept until 4:00 in the afternoon. The second day I went home, read a book and sat on the back massage chair until my back was bruised. The book was “Surely, You Must Be Joking Mr. Feynmann”, stolen from my boyfriend =P I would recommend it for some interesting non-scientific but interesting banter, ( Vancouver was also mentioned in the book). And on the third day I sat and watched movies all day…laaaazyyy (but nice too).

By the time my hibernation period was up I was all set to go running around to appointments and tours, I even went to the Aquarium! I got to see TRIUMF (more on that later) and managed to meet up with friends and even go shopping woohoo. Now after 3 days of rest I am all ready to start  on all the homework that I have due in the next couple of days… well not really, but… you know =P Hope everyone else is starting to feeling well rested too! Will post about TRIUMF, time management and Totem Park in the next few days!
